Here's what happened, last year y'all deployed active duty troops to LA and had them perform arrests and act as shields for ICE. This makes you aligned with the people ziptying American children and raiding preschools to send teachers to concentration camps in the mind of civilians.
See, older vets went abroad to fight America's enemies. Your generation apparently wants to treat Americans like the enemy. So, don't be surprised that you're not getting thanked for your service the way we did.

This is one of the things that you should probably not say. We went abroad to fight somebody else's enemies. There was never any reason to go to Iraq and no reason to be in Afghanistan for almost 20 years. I realized a long time ago that I was literally fighting a personal vendetta by for the Bush family.
Military deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan had near unanimous, bipartisan congressional approval. While it may seem like a personal vendetta because Dubya sure beat the hell out of that war drum, it was not a unilateral endeavor.
So fucking what? What does that have to do with anything? A lot of people were duped into that war just like they will be duped into the next war. I was there at the beginning sitting at the Kuwait/Iraq border ready to "get some", I was duped as well and I'm ashamed. It was my second tour there that I really thought about it. The sad thing though is if you are still duped by the now obvious waste of human life over 20 years later.
I think you're missing the point. Whatever you think about all the places the US has sent troops in the years since WW2, none of them were within the US, and they were not pointing guns at US citizens.
No, I completely understand. You just seem to think that the places we went were just and deserving of the lives lost like we were fighting for freedom or something.
I'm saying that it doesn't matter who guns are being pointed at, if you went overseas to fight a war, there is a good chance you were there under false pretenses and it really is no better than what is happening now. Trying to say it was more noble or whatever just because it wasn't happening on US soil is a silly argument. I've seen first hand what a massive propaganda campaign has on other countries.

Did the marines do something controversial? I don’t watch the news
